uniway of columbia wasted an hour of my life w. columbia, South Carolina

i failed to mention that the membership fee is 3900.00(plus) with a yearly renewal of 45.00? (i wasn`t takilng notes). if you want to screw with these people ask them up front what the membership fee is and what is the shipping & handling on my" free gift"? they claim they are your purchasing agent and will get you a great deal. they may show you among other things a lockback pocket knife. you can buy for about 3.00. plus s&h and they add i think about 5/10% to cover processing. they stock very little if any product and no vendor would take an order for 3.00. most companies figure to create a po is i around 95.00 ?. how would you get the refrig, washer, dryer from their dock to your place ?  if i think of anything else to add i`ll update but you can see where i`m going with this and what you might to ask. if this is such a great deal why are their so many retail stores in business ?  thanks
